For those of you who don't know, intexas just had a baby, and her WH walked out some time ago.

Now her boss is gunning for her, and wants to oust her as a single mother of three.

She can't do this -- but there are established processes for intexas to seek redress. Can some of you who know how to go about this (better than I do) advise her?

Wish I could advise more clearly but this is not my area of expertise (I am a tax attorney). If she feels/knows that her boss is gunning for her for certain I can guess that it would behoove her to at least have a consultation with a Texas Attorney sooner than later. She would also be well advised to do her own internet research on her rights under the various applicable laws.

Now I am betting the boss will be very careful not to blantantly violate the Family Medical Leave Act and the various discrimination laws but he/she may just try to write her up for every rule violation under the sun to fill her employee file up to justify a firing. InTexas should take careful notes and journal how different she is being treated as compared with employees x, y and z. For example, are others allowed to be late, if so who, when, and how or are others being allowed to leave for family issues (sick kid) whereas she is getting written up for the same. Records of diproportionate discipline will assist in an establishing her dismissal was discriminatory. Further, if these write up's allow her to make a comment she should find out how she should respond to each right up.

In conclusion, with careful notes and being observant she may help document her potential claim that she is being discrimated against as a single mother of 3.
